Charles, & Courtney,
Pantographed gransport parts are NOT surprising. After all, a pantographed gransport gazelle tour l'avenir bike just sold on ebay a few weeks ago in like-new condition. Also, I've seen BC & Cecile (Renaissance Cycles) sell MANY pantographed gransport components over the years, especially cranks and brakes, OLMO or similar second-tier components. Kevin Kruger's gazelle on wooljersey has pantographed gransport brake levers.
Anyway, my point is, Pantographing was never just for Nuovo Record alone !!
